All that is right there in the video.

I can't see that as anything but pressing out a crease. Is it still visible in the video? Yes, a bit. But there's little enough that it would change the grade. If missed it would be a drastic change.
Yes, I watched the video. He does not press it out at any point. He is not applying pressure to press it down. That's the difference. When people press out a crease, they literally soak the card and the smash the shit out of it with a spoon or a roller and try to smash it flat. He's not doing that. He's getting it wet and allowing the card stock to rise naturally. It's like working on a sponge that dried with something sitting on top of it and now has a dent in it. If you get the sponge wet, it will retake it's natural shape. Card stock is similar. That's all Kurt does.
